Semiconductor Industry Forecast Seminar

July 20, 2010, London, UK

How Sustainable Is The Recovery?

The industry is apparently back in growth mode, but the big question is:

“How sustainable is the recovery?”

With 2010 now essentially a done deal, everyone now agrees 2010's chip growth will end up in the 27-31 percent range, just as we forecast at the January's IFS2010. The big question now on everyone's minds is "2011 ... what happens next?".

Clearly (to us at least) the chip cycles have been neither smoothed nor tamed, nor for that matter have the economic and financial ones, all of these being fundamental to a free market economy, so we can expect the chip industry to exhibit downstream roller coaster dynamics. Put another way, when you're in the plus side of the cycle, the inevitable next step is down, the only question is how much and how fast?

At our January 2009 IFS seminar, we were the first and only forecaster to call the timing and strength of the 2010 recovery, no one else got this right, be they a chip market forecaster, financial analyst or industry executive. We stuck to our forecast throughout 2009, despite being regularly accused of misguided industry optimism, only to be proved right as 2010 rolls out. Even the most pessimistic of forecasts is now aligned with our view.

Our July IFS2010-MT forecast seminar will focus on the outlook scenarios for 2011 ... can you really afford not to be there?"
